The Journey So Far

In this white paper, we share our learnings with you in the hope that they may propel you further along your journey.

One key discovery made is that Big Data and Analytics is not a destination, it’s a journey. While this might seem trite, it is very much true. Each company we interviewed was at a different stage of development. Each company saw the challenges in a slightly different way. And, each aimed at what can only be described as a moving target.

What that result is and how it is measured depends on the particular company and context, but each company is in search of this basic aim.
